Image Splitter
Split an image into grid tiles — 3×3 for an Instagram profile grid, carousel strips, or up to 4×4 — with numbered cut-line preview and one-ZIP download. Runs locally in your browser.
Split an image into a grid
Cut one photo into 9 tiles for an Instagram profile grid, a 3-tile carousel strip, or any grid up to 4×4 — preview the cut lines, then download all tiles in one ZIP. Everything runs locally in your browser.
Image Splitter cuts one picture into perfectly equal tiles: the classic 3×3 for a dramatic Instagram profile grid, a 3×1 strip for a swipeable carousel, or 2×2 up to 4×4 for photo walls and puzzles. The preview draws the exact cut lines with tile numbers on top of your image, the image is center-cropped to divide evenly, and one click downloads every tile in a numbered ZIP.
The fiddly part of grid posts is the upload order, so the tool spells it out: a profile grid shows newest first, meaning tile 9 goes up first and tile 1 last — the reminder is printed right in the download message. Cutting happens on a local canvas; the photo never leaves your device.
FAQ
How do I post a 3×3 grid to Instagram in the right order?
Upload the tiles in reverse: 9, 8, 7 … 1. The profile grid displays newest posts first, so posting backwards makes the picture assemble correctly. The tool reminds you after the ZIP downloads.
Why did the tool crop my image a little?
Every tile must be identical, so the image is center-cropped to the nearest dimensions divisible by your grid. For square grids (3×3, 2×2, 4×4) it also crops to a square first — the preview shows precisely what will be cut.
What sizes do the tiles come out at?
Original resolution divided by the grid — a 3000×3000 source gives nine 1000×1000 tiles. The insight line shows the exact tile size before you download.
Which format should I export?
JPG for photos going to social media (small and universal). PNG if the source is a graphic with text or you need lossless tiles.
Can I make a carousel strip instead of a grid?
Yes — choose 3×1 (or 2×1). You get side-by-side tiles that read as one continuous panorama when swiped.
How are the files named?
tile-01 through tile-NN in reading order — left to right, top to bottom — so they sort correctly in any file manager.
Is there a quality loss?
Tiles are cut at native resolution with no rescaling. JPG re-encoding at 92% is visually lossless; choose PNG for pixel-perfect output.
Is my image uploaded?
No. Cutting and ZIP packing run in your browser — the tool works offline once the page has loaded.
